lol that's familiar, I had the same with a window sprayer that I told very clearly, loudly and repeatedly: "NO"

when he went ahead anyway I put the wipers on, squirted him with the window washer, and when he didn't stop I pulled up the handbrake, put the hazards on and got out the car and chased him a few meters

it was one of those malnourished tik-koppe so I was like twice his size, think he realised he was in no position for a physical altercation

not proud nor ashamed of that moment, no means no

That's not road rage, that's common decency/sense or whatever. Something the culture of today doesn't grasp. Imagine owning an expensive car that's your pride and joy and some mofo squirts god knows what onto the paint work. I would also want to more it.

One only gets angry when one is surprised by something.
I expect all drivers to be wyd kants.
 
If you define road rage as hooting and flipping someone off for driving like a po3s, then yeah..

Only once have I ever got out of my car with the intention of giving someone a PK was when a taxi clipped my side mirror when he was trying to be an arsehole and get through a gap in traffic that wasn't big enough for him... I think he got the worlds biggest skirk and somehow managed to disappear very quickly when I got out the car. This was probably around 15 years ago and definitely not something I'd do anymore though.
 
Try hard not to, its just not worth it, few seconds of rage with potentially years of consequences, whether you wrong or right, I just chill, listen to tunes, and if something happens out of my control then I have insurance to sort it out, that being said, 95% of the time its the taxis that are giving me headaches.

Reminds me of a good friend who was driving his father's beloved Defender on Jan Smuts and had the mirror clipped by a taxi'ing while waiting to turn right. Well, let's just say that my friend did not take kindly to this and chased the taxi a few blocks to the intersection of Jan Smuts and Jellicoe or Tyrwhitt where he rear ended the taxi on purpose. The taxi driver got out, as did my friend but only my friend got back in and drove off as he knocked the taxi driver out cold and left him next to his taxi on the road, driving off to wherever he was headed before the taxi clipped his father's Defender. When his father asked where the mirror was and what happened to the Defenders bull bar, my friend told him the story and he commented something along the lines of 'It'll buff out..."

P.S. I don't condone this sort of behaviour at all, my friend got lucky the taxi driver didn't have a knife or gun.
 
I get road rage.
I get roid rage.
So when I get roid rage on the road, is it roid-road rage?
Or road-roid rage?

Yeah when I was younger I used to rage a lot. I once stopped a taxi on the N1. Got out to have a go at him.

There I was, shouting at him in the fast lane. Telling him his ****. He replied very calmly; asking me if there was a problem. Whilst his hands were behind his back.

I told him yes, he is a **** driver. So he repeated the question. It then clicked; and I responded and said “have a good day” and got in my car and left.

That was 13 years ago now. I’ve grown up since and now not even taxis get under my skin. I let them be. Cruise control on and idiots must do what they do.

I beg to differ
 
I will honk at cyclists on N1 sometimes or at jaywalkers. I sometimes show the middle finger, but rarely, maybe once every 2-3 years. It's best not too, because you never know what sort of unstable mofo the other person could be, and of course we're all human and we all make mistakes.
